Parker Puppetry specialises in Live Hand and Rod Puppetry, and has its own uniquely developed syllabus, devised into ‘Avenue’ classes. Each Avenue has a different focus of the art form, from Beginning steps, Mastering Sync Techniques, Expression, Voicework, Rodwork, and SO MUCH MORE. Even the ‘Puppet Lip Sync Battle’ which is a performance-based class where students and Puppeteers get to perform together in the ultimate puppet performance.

Our ‘Puppeteachers’ are combined with leading creatives and Puppeteers and experts within the Hand & Rod Puppetry (Theatre & Screen) industry, and in addition: Marionette, Japanese Bunraku, Table Top and Human Mascot-Style.
